elips4sun

The organic look makes the difference – with a distinctive silhouette and exceptional design.

»Unmistakable form with unique function.«

The ellipsoidal shape, with its curved edges between the ribbing, has an extravagant look that stands out distinctively from the uniform appearances of conventional shade sail systems. But the advantages don’t stop there: this shape is not only eye-catching but also incredibly practical. The convex edges allow for a wider sail, which offers greater protection from sun and rain. Further- more, the system only requires a single mast, which saves valuable space for maximum freedom of movement in the shade.

Intelligent shading system also masters strong winds and rain in style.

The Clouth profiles, special handcrafted battens, are responsible for the automatic arching of the sail. Rainwater runs right off the sides without pooling, and the flexible ribbing easily absorbs gusts of wind. In stronger winds, a specially developed wind-pressure-relief system in the mast prevents excessive strain on the system. The result: a unique atmosphere of comfort and well-being in any weather. Like all other C4sun products, every elips4sun system is a custom-made, automatically furling, one-of-a-kind shade sail.

A new form of comfort and protection.

What sets the elips4sun shade sail apart from conventional systems is its eye-catching design with curved edges between the ribbing. The space-saving construction only requires one tensioning cable and a single mast. Discover a completely new outdoor-living ambience, and enjoy this exceptionally attractive style of comfort and protection!

Standard Colours

Every C4sun shade sail is handcrafted to the desired for- mat and size. In addition to the four standard colours, a further 16 colour options are available, enabling you to customise the sail design to fit ideally to the surround- ings and your personal tastes.

For its sails, C4sun uses exclusively WeatherMax 80, a high-strength fabric that is both breathable and extremely watertight.

WeatherMax 80 is resistant to mould and mildew and offers maximum protection from glare and UV rays.

Mast installation

All options for mounting our shade sails.

Krinner ground screw

With ground screws, the masts can be anchored to the ground quickly, cleanly and securely. This patented foundation system from the German company Krinner is an excellent alternative to concrete foundations. The ground screws are driven into the ground quickly and easily using special equipment. The conical shape compacts the soil around the screw, producing the required stability. There- fore, no time-consuming excavation work is necessary. In comparison to concrete foundations, this method is extremely fast, environmentally friendly and clean.

C4sun Cube

The ideal solution for terraces, particularly roof terraces: Our cubes measure 80 x 80 x 40 cm and can be placed anywhere on flat surfaces. For safety purposes, they are either weighted with up to 400 kg of ballast material or anchored to the ground. The choice is yours: as a place to sit or a decorative planter – our impressively multifunctional cubes are so much more than simply stable bases for masts.

C4sun Flange Plate

Our base flange plates are the best choice if you plan to place your mast systems on an existing foundation or a level surface. This solution is ideal for the installation of a shade-sail system on existing terraces.
